Consider a Room on the First Level

Staying on the first level can reduce the number of stairs to climb, making it more convenient, especially if you have mobility issues or during the rainy season.

Check for Insect Screens

Rooms with insect screens on the balcony doors allow you to enjoy the fresh air without worrying about insects.

Be Prepared for the Access Road

The road to the hotel is narrow and steep, so consider this if you have a fear of heights or if it's the rainy season. A 4x4 is helpful but not absolutely necessary.

Utilize the Late Check-Out Option

The hotel offers a late check-out option for a fee, allowing you to enjoy the facilities for a longer time on your departure day.

Be Mindful of Noise Isolation

Some guests mentioned that noise from neighboring rooms was noticeable, so if this is a concern, it's worth considering.

Opt for the Lower Parking Area

If your room is not near the reception, consider parking in the lower parking area, especially during the rainy season or if you're not comfortable with stairs.

Take Advantage of the Laundry Option

The hotel offers a convenient laundry service, which can be a practical option during your stay.

Consider Room Selection for Views

Rooms on the first level of the first building and the restaurant offer stunning views, so consider this when choosing your room.

Be Aware of Restaurant Menu Options

Some guests mentioned that the restaurant menu lacked healthy options and fruit at breakfast, so consider this if it's important to you.

Communicate via WhatsApp

As the rooms have no phones, communicating with reception via WhatsApp is the norm, and the staff are responsive and accommodating.
